**Authorize annexation of Greenland as a U.S. territory.** This bill would let the President negotiate with the Kingdom of Denmark to acquire Greenland and would link any later bid for statehood to Greenland adopting a constitution that Congress finds republican and consistent with the U.S. Constitution. - Greenland residents: Could be placed under U.S. territorial status and gain a path to statehood if Greenland adopts a constitution meeting the congressional condition. - President and federal government: Would give the President authority to take steps to annex or otherwise acquire Greenland and would require a presidential report to Congress identifying changes to federal law needed for statehood. - Congress and international relations: Would tie congressional consideration of admission to the President's report and to negotiations with Denmark, making both domestic law changes and bilateral talks central to any statehood decision.
